Google Gemini is already an amazing tool for receiving information, but it\u2019s still expanding. Google is finding ways for it to be better integrated into our lives. Well, according to a new report, it looks like Gemini will be able to talk to Google Maps to better help you gather information about different locations.
\nIt\u2019s important to know that there\u2019s no guarantee that Google will launch this. While it seems likely that the company will introduce it, the company hasn\u2019t officially announced it. This feature was discovered through an APK deep-dive performed by Android Authority. As such, there\u2019s a chance that Google could cancel this feature before the launch.
\nGoogle could add Gemini integration to Google Maps
\nGoogle has a handful of extensions out that allow Gemini to communicate with other apps and services. For example, this is why Gemini allows you to control your smart home devices. Other extensions allow Gemini to communicate with Google Messages, Google Hotels, Google Flights, and other Google services along with Spotify, WhatsApp, YouTube, etc.
\nThere\u2019s an extension for Google Maps already, but the company is looking to provide more usability for it. Android Authority found code within the Google app v16.4.35 that points to the company bringing a new chip when you summon Gemini in Google Maps.
\nThe chip will have the text \u201cAsk about place\u201d, and it will allow you to get more context about a certain location. Just like the \u201cAsk about screen\u201d and \u201cAsk about video\u201d chips, you\u2019ll be able to ask Gemini questions about the location you\u2019re viewing.
\nLooking at the screenshots below, when you tap on the chip, Gemini will paste the URL for the location into the text field so you can ask whatever question you want. You\u2019ll ask Gemini questions about how to get to that location. We\u2019re sure you\u2019ll ask questions like business hours, services, menu items, etc. based on the location you look up.<\/p>\n

At this point, we don\u2019t know if Google will launch this feature, but it\u2019s too useful not to launch. Also, it\u2019s far along enough in production to function, as you can see in the video below. So, we\u2019re certain that Google will launch it eventually.<\/p>\n
